KUALA LUMPUR – Mark your calendars on October 21 as all financial planning organisations in the country rally young people who intend to pursue a career in personal finance to attend the inaugural large scale Malaysian Financial Planning Day.
Youth aspiring to pursue a career in personal finance, especially, will find a wealth of information available through one-on-one sessions with financial planning experts, real-life experience sharing, tips and invaluable advice on how to carve a career in the financial planning sector.
Hosted by the Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC), this event, Malaysian Financial Planning Day (MFPD) will take place at the Securities Commission Malaysia, from 8am to 5pm.
MFPD is one of many initiatives undertaken by the MFPC to ignite financial planning passion among youth aged 18 to 25, through professional education programmes.
With this, it is hoped that their financial literacy will be improved, and they will find themselves better empowered to make informed financial decisions.
The programme which is fully funded by the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF) will be officiated by Datin Azalina Adham, Managing Director of Securities Commission, Malaysia.
MFPD is intended as both a learning platform and a gateway to the local financial sector, as well as a connection to exciting career advancements in the financial planning industry, as they transform their personal financial wellness.
Not only will the event offer insights, advice, inspiration and awareness, it will do so with a dash of excitement – with lucky draws, fun activities, and an exhibition by a host of leading financial planning corporations and capital market service companies.
Some of the biggest companies in the business of financial planning will be there, including YES Financial Bhd, Kenanga Investors, Advisonomics, and I-MAX Financial.
MFPC is jointly organising this event with the Financial Planning Association of Malaysia (FPAM), the Association of Financial Advisors (AFA), and the Malaysian Financial Planners and Advisers Association (MFPAA).
Set up in 2004 on the initiative of Bank Negara Malaysia, the MFPC’s main objective is to promote the nationwide development and enhancement of the financial planning profession through education programmes, best practices, upholding standards and stakeholder engagement, to ensure professionalism of the financial planning services industry.
Admission to all MFPD-related activities is free. Alternatively, during the month of October 2023, a month dedicated for financial literacy, MFPC is having numerous virtual free tea -talk sessions.
Book a place for this opportunity to look ahead and shape your financial future.
More than 1000 participants have already done so!
